Camp Half Blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By -

Camp Half Blood was so specatacularly awesome there really isn't a word for it. Take the words: Spectacularly awesome. Now multiply those words by 10,000,000,000. You still won't even be close to how awesome camp was. OK, so I got there, which goes without saying. I met my couns-eler Kelsey. I was in... Apollo. I was TOTALLY not expecting that. Athena-maybe. Poseidon-likely. Not Apollo. I HATE the sun. Oh well. So, when camp began, I met the sword master, Master Thomas. We learned our marching commands, and practiced.Then we went inside. After this, we played capture the flag. My team lost three times and won twice. After that, we went inside and had snack. Gany did not have a very good insult. Gany's full name is Ganymede. He likes insulting the campers. He is hiding in our radio at camp. Once or twice he intercepts an enemy transmission. Our enemy is called the League of Monsters and Machines. A word about the League: they are all children of Hephaestus. They SAY,"Sure, join us, daughter of Aphrodite! Sure, join us, son of Dionysus!" But then they suck your spirit out of you. Everyday we did marching, capture the flag Laestrygonian dodgeball, sword fighting and phalanx training. We also had several special activities like a 35 foot climbing wall, another day we had chariot racing, and on the last day we had archery and sword fighting championships. We also had quests. Each day different people got to go on them. So camp was awesome!!!

Also while we were in Austin we got to see some people that we have not seen in donkey's years. First we went out to dinner with Miss Zada at Magnolia. She is the person that I was named after. She is one of the super nicest people in the world. We also had dinner with Aunt Natalie. First though we went to her house and I got to play with her dogs Inky and Franklin and her cats Gulliver and Kismet. Gulliver is a vampire kitty because he has gigantic fangs. Our last night in town we went to Amy's Ice Cream with Mr. Chris and Miss Rebekah. We were late meeting them because as we were leaving the camp site 2 members of the League came and tried to recruit me. Fortunately a patrol of counselors came and chased them off.

I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now but I couldn't because then my hair wouldn't go up in a bun for my ballet classes. But when the last ballet class was over on Wednesday I finally got my hair cut. I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love. They make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness. There were more than 15 inches to donate. Here is the "before" picture: Here is the "after" picture: I did not expect my hair to be as short as my grandma's dachshund. It feels wierd to have short hair again.

July 22, 2008 We got into a moving gondola and were lifted off the ground and saw sheep and a luge ride tracks and trees and everything else you can imagine that would be on a mountain. When we got to the top I made a delicious mess of a popsicle/ice cream. Then me and my dad got on a ski-lift, helmets on, one pair of eyes closed. You can guess who that was, right? Correct! Me! We (me and my dad) got our instructions and were off. Before the first bend, I ran into the gravel and the lady had to run over and help me out. After that, the rest went pretty smoothly. After that, we went to Puzzling world. Am I holding up this building? We (again me and my dad) went into the maze and then into the illusion room with a golf ball that ran up, a room where I shrank, and staring dead people. We took videos, pictures and other things and then took to our campground. July 23, 2008 We drove to 4 waterfalls and found giant trouts and numerous pretty rocks. We went over a swing bridge to the “Blue Po

July 4, 2008 Last night, we went to bed early, but my parents woke me up at 11:00 PM! We drove to Dallas in the rental car, known as the “dork mobile”. (My family called our rental car that.) We hated that giant, maroon, Californian car. Anyways, I got SO tired that I fell asleep on the duffle bag. If you want MY advice, never fall asleep on a duffle bag, especially if it is filled with hiking boots. If you want to be comfortable, that’s good advice. When we got to Dallas, we returned the Dork Mobile and went to the airport to get on the plane “United”. That flight was VERY exciting! First, there was a mechanical issue, then there was a medical issue and the plane was like a bouncy, covered roller coaster, meaning lots of turbulence. The views were incredible! We flew over southern Utah and saw Lake Powell and hundreds of canyons. I also saw mountains with snow stil
